fsgregs and CurlSnout,
thanks a lot for your encouragements. I appreciate.
The problem with creation and the lack of comments or feedback, is it gives the creator the impression he's playing all alone, for nothing. Of course, I'm doing addons for my personal pleasure at first, but if an addon doesn't interest anybody, what gives ? It's like masturbation. Feedbacks are not asked to flatter the creator's ego. They are signs that the creation process is usefull in some way.

Looking forward to the update; the new ship textures are wonderful.
Here's a question: I'm trying to "....closely follow the Cyl explorer 1 spaceship along its journey from Zet1 to Zet2....", as suggested in the readme. I've located the ship and set the date to 15 Jan 1993, but I don't see any movement, despite boosting the time factor (the readme actually suggests decreasing the time factor because the ship moves so fast).
What am I doing wrong?

Hmmm, actually, the ship is following an elliptical trajectory. It's moving slowly on some part, and pretty fast on another part of the path. I suggest that you slow down time by a factor of 100 and that you set the time exactly to 14 jan 1993, at 15h 17min 53sec. You should see a planet (Eolis) not very far away from the ship.
